The Impossible Orchestra completes 24-hour musical marathon for Care Aware

At 5pm today, the final note was played by the Impossible Orchestra, a 24-hour musical tribute to the 2.6m carers in Australia who look after their sick, aged or disabled loved ones.

The musical marathon, which took place in Melbourne’s Hamer Hall, was a metaphor for the ongoing sacrifice made by Australia’s carers, for government backed charity CareAware.

The event was performed by Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Orchestra Victoria and the Australian National Academy of Music, with contributions from politicians, actors and comedians including Shaun Micallef, Josh Thomas and Charlie Pickering.

Interspersed with classical pieces by the likes of Vivaldi, Beethoven and Tchaikovsky, were video tributes to some of Australia’s carers.

The event was devised by McCann Melbourne.
